Have you been
wondering how some organisations get the best from their employees and increases business? Here are some suggestions
we have
learned over the
last 5 years working with over
350+ employer partners.
1. Set Goals:
As an employer, it
is important to set goals for each department and each staff should be given responsibilities to follow through for
a certain period.
WHY:
It helps each staff know what is expected of them for each role in terms
of deliverables and culture of the organization.
HOW:
A detailed job description for each role/department within the organization
should be created. Goals
should be set quarterly/bi-annually/annually.
2. Update Goal
Progress:
WHY:
This will help the organization know the progress level of each goal set,
the progress level of departments, each staff and areas where
development is needed. It also gives the employee a level of self-awareness as
to what they can do and what they need to improve on.
HOW:
Consistent follow-up on each department/staff to know what their challenges
are, what can be tweaked to make progress and know where to improve.
3. Regular
Check-Ins: i.e periodic one on one conversation with your team members.
WHY: To
check progress and provide assistance where necessary.
HOW: Fix
regular periodic dates with employees and departments. It could be weekly or monthly.
4. Regular
Feedback:
WHY: Helps
to make staff self-aware so they continuously improve themselves.
HOW: Give
feedback in real-time. Understand the personality of each staff to know the
best way to give feedback and relate with staff.
5. Recognition/Appraisals:
WHY:
To motivate staff. Let them know that
their hard work is appreciated.
HOW: It
must not be monetary. It could be plaques on the wall with the category of
recognition and name of
staff/department. It could be vouchers (movie, events, restaurant etc.)
6. Personal
Development:
WHY:
To upskill Staff
HOW: Based
on feedback, check-ins, and update on goal progress, as an employer, it is
important to find out areas of development for each staff and suggest pieces of
training that will help up-skill or
improve them.
Also, organize
general training to improve all staff in new technology (project management
tools, cloud-based
software etc.) and general up-skilling of themselves.
These are some
suggestions based on our learnings in the last five years which we have applied
and have been effective.
In our next article, we would share some instructions and include
an example of how each tip is done well.
Which of these
does your organisation already apply? Which are you going to try?
We look forward to
your response. We would love to hear from you!

ReplyDeleteUsually Blogs lack depth for serious learning. They are good for intellectual entertainment (in a good sense), announcements (again in good sense -- for example announcing some new ideas, new articles, new products), "general interests" reading. Not the case with your post though, really enjoyed it reading it and it held my attention all the way through!
